The reason is that the upstream package is also often called "glue"
(with "glueviz" as an alternative, however), and the Python package
"python3-glue". IMO "glue" is by far too generic for any special
software; however that was upstream's choice.

I'd support this. We can't remove the python-3 glue ambiguity, but
otherwise we should consequently glueviz as the better name here.
